Expanding our reach
More markets. More propositions. More proof.
Over the first half of 2026, we’ve taken important steps into new markets and helped some of the UK’s most recognised financial brands bring new investment propositions to market.
We recently incorporated in Ireland, as the first step in our European expansion.
Ireland is a vibrant financial services market in its own right, with a strong ecosystem, a clear opportunity to widen access to investing and the proposed Personal Investment Account on the horizon.
It’s also the starting point for our broader European journey, as we build the local expertise, regulatory understanding and repeatable infrastructure needed to support firms across multiple markets.
